Travis Knight has confirmed that the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie will take a different approach than the original 1980s animated series. According to the filmmaker, the live-action adaptation begins after Skeletor has already succeeded, marking a major shift from the structure used throughout the original cartoon.
While discussing the film’s creative direction, Knight told SFX Magazine, ‘If you watched the Filmation cartoons , you know that Skeletor had some grand designs for power in every episode. He’s going to do some kind of scheme, he’s going to get his ass kicked, and then he’s going to promise to return next week. Lather, rinse, repeat. ’ The director said the new movie was built around a different question entirely.
He said, ‘We wondered, ‘What would happen if he actually won? ’ That’s essentially how we start our movie. Skeletor’s plan finally works. ’ During the same interview, Knight admitted he initially became overly ambitious about adding fan-favorite figures into the story.
He said, ‘At some point, I felt like I was being a ridiculously irresponsible fanboy as opposed to a filmmaker, so I needed to pull back. This universe is so rich and dense. It’s got more than 40 years of history and mythology, so we’ve really just scratched the surface.
